in use, will subscribe TO pubic stations or
have private Bell phones.

column on the authority of the Win ing
ton dallics that Prof. Thomas l. Graham
had been suspended - prilH'ipll ot the Vii
mington High School by the Board OF Eiu-
cation. Ard 80 it appeared from the pro
cetdirgs at the meeting last week. Ire
matter was taken up again at "A meeting on
Monday evening last, and after much wran-
giug it was decided to retain Mr.. Graham
in his position. 1t is hard to tell what this
Board OF Education Will do next. If it

ing from such fool hoard of education as
! Wilmington possesses at this time.
